• SQL Server SSIS will not start after SQL Server 2005 SP1 upgrade

  Hi guys, I have experienced a problem with a SQL Server 2005 SP1 upgrade, where hotfix.exe reported an error during the SSIS component upgrade, and then the SSIS service would not start back up.

• SQL Server Printing SSRS 2000 Report from VB.net

The requirement is when the user clicks this button the pdf version of the SSRS report is printed. I haven't found a way to do that. Currently, when the user clicks the 'Print' button we have it linked to the pdf report (through the URL link)... Can we achieve the direct printing as requested without displaying the ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Is the pseudo SQL syntax necessary?

  Current LINQ syntax is like this: var upperLowerWords =         from w in words         select new {Upper = w.ToUpper(), Lower = w.ToLower()}         where w.StartsWith("a"); But I think that this is unnecessary breeding of C# with SQL. I believe that combination of methods with lambda calculus would be better: string[] words = { "aPPLE", "B ...Show All

• SQL Server Use SSIS to Copy Files Between Servers?

  This is a question of whether or not to use SSIS to solve a problem. I need to copy SQL Server database backup files from a server in the DMZ to a fileserver inside the firewall. The SQL Server is not allowed to write it's backup files directly to the fileserver, so they are written to local disk. A connection can be made from inside the firewall to the SQL Server to copy the files off. So, I'm considering SSIS for the job. Is it possible ...Show All
